ZPL Basics
The ZPL Format (Receipt Form or Template)
10/29/2010 Software Integrator Guide P1026208-001 Rev. B
The commands listed in this table can be part of the commands generated by
ZebraDesigner or will be used as part of the most common receipts or developmental
receipt formats covered in this guide.
All non-persistent parameters set in this type of receipt format are cleared after printing the
receipt. This includes print quantity, counters, variables, and the image map to name a
few.
Printer parameters that are persistent will be retained for following formats to use. Those
settings will remain in effect until they are changed by subsequent commands, the printer
is reset, power is cycled or the you restore a parameter that has a factory default by using
the feed button mode’s four (4) flash routine.
To keep settings even after a power cycle or printer reset, a Configuration Update
command (
^JUS) can be sent to the printer to save all current persistent settings. The
values are recalled with a
^JUR command to restore the last save values to you printer.
A separate format can be created to set and save the values set in the third group of
commands shown in Figure 5-5 on page 55, and Table 5-3 on page 55.
To assist the developer, the printer has a listing of the operating parameters, a Printer
Configuration Receipt. It can be accessed by using the printer’s feed button and the ‘Print
a Test Receipt’ procedure in the Operations Section of the Hardware Integrator Guide.
The Printer Configuration Receipt (Figure 5-7) provides a listing of a majority of the
configurations settings that can comprise the third (3rd) group of "ZPL Format Structure
Guidelines" on page 54.
